FAQs about IEQc4.3 :

If I have no flooring products in the scope of my project, can I earn this credit?

How do I handle a polished concrete floor?

Should mineral-based finish flooring products (without any integral organic-based coatings and sealants) and unfinished/untreated solid wood flooring be documented on the IEQc4.3 LEED Online form, even though they are exempt from certification requirement

On a renovation, should flooring that is previously installed be subject to the credit requirements?

One flooring adhesive we are using falls under both IEQc4.1 and IEQc4.3, and is over the VOC limit. We are using the VOC budget method to meet IEQc4.1 requirements, but are we automatically disqualifed from IEQc4.3?

The credit requirements are allowed to exempt unfinished wood flooring from the credit requirements, but wood flooring is almost always finished. This is confusing!

I have an international project and my flooring products aren’t tested using any of the above standards. How can I tell if they still comply?

Dear all, I have a custom shaped (curved) marble flooring, the marble is mineral based, but the supplier will be cutting the marble shapes at his factory, and will be adhering curved parts to each other, to supply square panels on-site. the on-site panels will be sealed using 30 g/L voc epoxy, which is compliant with SCAQMD, but what about the flooring itself, should I force the supplier to use the same epoxy that I'am using on-site, or he must use mineral based (organic free) adhesive to guarantee supplying me with "mineral based flooring"?

Omar, I don't know if I totally understand your question but the supplier should use a compliant epoxy product.

Tristan, thanks for your reply. I'am asking about the adhesive that the supplier will be using in his factory. Should it be 100% mineral based so that I can report that I'am using mineral based flooring, or it must only comply with the SCAQMD requirements knowing that It is applied off-site?
